background: although giant cell tumor (gct) is considered to be a primary benign bone tumor, its aggressive behavior makes its diagnosis and treatment, difficult and challenging. this is especially true in distal radius where gct appears to be more aggressive and difficult to control locally. we report our clinical outcome of en-block resection and reconstruction with non-vascularized fibular a...

We compare the utility of models of the structure of carpal bones in the hand for predicting skeletal maturity in infants (0 -7 yrs). Skeletal maturity assessment is important for diagnosing and monitoring growth disorders. Statistical models of bone shape and appearance have been shown to be useful for estimating skeletal maturity. In this work we investigate the effect of the choice of models...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the progression of erosions at sites within the carpus, in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plain radiology over a two year period. METHODS Gadolinium enhanced MRI scans of the dominant wrist were performed in 42 patients with RA at baseline (within six months of symptom onset) and one year. Plain wrist radiogr...
